I want Thompson to get a SCN just so he can stop escaping criticism. His current image as the saviour and good guy is staggering. His hands are just as dirty and he's going to end up with the top job and blood on his hands.

But oh he does funny press conferences and eats sandwiches in the box ho ho ho.

The bombers settle with the Weapon to the tune of an 800k payout too. That's essentially like paying out another coach, money for toilet paper out at Tulla.
Wow and wow again.

What is *their cost for this exercise now?

*essendon fc memberships will surely rise to over $1000 a year, just to get a seat on level 4 at etihad for 3 home games mind you.

I really really wanted to reply to this comment in the *EFC ASADA thread, but I would get a card, so i'll reply to it here;

AFL definitely running the show now. EFC has ceased to exist as a stand alone club. We now join North, Gold Coast, Melbourne, GWS, ST Kilda, Bulldogs, Swans etc etc as AFL subsidiaries..
My reply

I think the fundamental flaw in all of your pseudo-legalese arguments (that do nothing more than give false hope to genuinely despairing *EFC fans) is that you believe the AFL and it's clubs operate under the same framework as small businesses.

This is simply not the case.

There is no such thing as a "stand alone club". Every single AFL club operates under a licensing agreement and a partnership platform with the AFL.

Please stop passing off your own perceptions and opinions as some sort of evidence-based facts, because whilst it is hilarious for us on the outside looking in who take great pleasure in seeing the due comeuppance to the smug, self-righteous drug cheat *Hird, you're leading impressionable *EFC fans who just want to know what is happening to the footy club they love down misleading paths.
